Hi Everyone,
CKGilabert, Pyxstix and I are hosting an application workshop for the future applicants at our school and I was hoping to get some input on things that you felt would have been helpful to have been informed/helped with during your application process.
So far our the points that I thought would be important were:
Profile of each presenter (Schools they applied/interviewed/accepted/where they are attending, GPA, GRE, animal/veterinary/non animal experiences, etc)
Applicant Time Table = when to submit transcripts, deadlines for applications and supplement, last day for GRE scores, etc (if you have specific deadlines you thought were important please let me know
GRE Suggestions/Tips (Maybe helpful classes/books we used)
Ways to Gain experience in our area
VMCAS Application
Outlining your Personal Statement
Head start programs (CSU vet prep, early admissions opportunities, combined programs)
The Vet School Interview - How to prepare, topics to review, Behavior vs traditional. Sample Questions
Making your decision - things to consider: area, reputation of the school, difference in price (figuring in interest)
Resources : SDN
Any suggestions on points in those areas to clarify our additional topics to cover would be awesome. Ive made up a chart for every school, OOS cost, number of OOS seats, stats, courses required that will be given to everyone attending along with a copy of at least two of our personal statements to use as samples (if anyone here would like to offer theirs up that would be great too). Anything else would you have found helpful??
Thanks
